Concrete Coring

D&I Drilling has the capability to undertake concrete coring using a diamond bit, whether from the windowless sampling, the standalone bolt down concrete corer or using our handheld coring unit.

The diamond coring bit attaches effortlessly to our windowless drilling rig and drills holes from 100mm to 600mm in diameter .

Our standalone bolt down concrete corer is an electric tower rig that can be vacuumed attached or bolted to surfaces, including floors, walls or even ceilings. This rig will remove cores up to 250mm in diameter. Drilling depths for this machine vary up to 1.5m, depending on the core size required and the matrix of the material being cored.

Our handheld coring unit has the versatility to be used in tight spaces, removing cores up to 100mm in diameter. Drilling depths for this technique also vary up to 1.5m, depending on the core size required and the matrix of the material being cored.

This unique 110 volt electric dynamic sampling rig was designed for accessing internal sites to removal fume issues the unit is simply plugged into the mains through a 110 volt transformer it is great for quick shallow unconsolidated ground investigations where access through standard doors and fumes could create an issue.

Drilling depths for this machine vary depending on geology but is generally used for overburden sampling of unconsolidated material to depths of 6m but can with the correct geology achieve greater depths.

Capable of Standard Penetration Tests – SPT and SPT(C) and Dynamic Probing (DP) to current British Standards and EC7.  Allows for the easy installation of standpipes, gas / water monitoring tubes or other instrumentation, within the restrictions of the borehole diameter.
